We’re back with Heath Hyatt for Part Two of our deep-dive into the world of working dogs — from the mountains to the street.
With decades of experience in hunting and law enforcement, Heath unpacks what it really means to read, train, and build a dependable dog.
This episode is full of straight talk and sharp insights for anyone serious about the craft.
We dig into:
🔹 The journey from hunting to professional K9 work
🔹 Patience, pressure, and timing – core training principles that never go out of style
🔹 E-collars – when to use them, how to avoid misuse
🔹 Bear hunting with hounds – the grit, the risk, and the reward
🔹 U.S. vs. Europe – cultural differences in training and breeding philosophies
🔹 Real canine psychology – motivation, compulsion, and the weight of responsibility
This one’s not just for houndsmen – it’s for anyone who trains, handles, or just wants to understand dogs on a deeper level.
